git-fire is a Git plugin that helps in the event of an emergency by adding all current files, committing, and pushing to a new branch (to prevent merge conflicts).

Alias it to git out or git going for comedic effect.

• git config --global alias.out fire
• git config --global alias.going fire

• creates new branch fire-<current branch>-<user email>-<current epoch>
• adds all files
• commits with "Fire! Branch <new branch>" or custom message
• pushes to remote

git-fire <message>

<message> is optional. If not specified, "Fire! Branch fire-<current branch>-<user email>-<current epoch>" will be used.

Just copy git-fire to your $PATH and ensure it is an executable (chmod +x git-fire) and you're good to go. 👍

git-fire is also installable via NPM. Just run npm install -g git-fire, which will copy the git-fire binary to your $PATH.

Also make sure you have Git installed.
